Send it. Find it again. Notes, links, photos, PDFs, voice recordings β€” send them the way you think of them, without picking a title or folder first. JustSend writes a short summary of each one, keeps the original beside it, and helps you find it later using the words you remember. READS WHAT YOU SEND Photos and scanned documents are read down to the words printed inside them, including tables. Links are fetched and distilled to their key points. Long documents are read page by page, so nothing is skipped because a file is too big. WORKS ON YOUR DEVICE On supported devices, summaries use Apple’s on-device Foundation Models. Recordings are transcribed on device with Apple’s Speech framework. Translation runs on device when Apple’s Translation framework supports the selected languages. Availability varies by device, OS, and language. THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS KEPT A summary never replaces what you sent. The original stays beside it and remains one tap away. You can edit the summary, and version history lets you see what changed and restore an earlier version. RECORDINGS THAT WRITE THEMSELVES DOWN Record a meeting or a thought, and JustSend transcribes it on your device. Tap any line of the transcript to replay that moment. SEARCH REACHES INSIDE One search covers your notes, the text inside photos and PDFs, and what was said in your recordings. It also tells you why each result matched. BEFORE THE MEETING Connect your calendar. Before an event, JustSend prepares a one-page brief with what you already sent about it and what is still open. Schedule records are end-to-end encrypted before they leave your device, so JustSend cannot read them. MARK IT UP, KEEP IT PRIVATE Highlight the sentences that matter and add private notes to any record. Create a web share link when someone else needs a record. Your highlights and notes travel with it, so read them over before you share, and you can stop sharing at any time. EVERYWHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Send from any app's share sheet. Ask Siri. Start a capture from Control Center, the Action button, or the Lock Screen. Watch progress in Dynamic Island. Keep what matters in a widget. Find records in Spotlight. When App Lock is on, JustSend removes its entries from Spotlight. FREE AND PRO The Free plan lets you keep up to 100 records on this device and create up to 5 share links a month, with on-device summaries and all other features included. Pro makes records and share links unlimited and adds end-to-end encrypted sync across your devices. Records are encrypted before they leave a device, so JustSend cannot read them. Some features depend on your device model and iOS version. SUBSCRIPTION Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, offered monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in Settings on your device. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://justsend.cloud/legal/privacy
